Funding flipped:
And the new investigator is . . .
And the new investigator is . . .
Re: Chat
I've edited both my Encounter and Mythos Phase posts. I got a 6 on my Funding roll and used it to get the Intelligence Report for 2 Clues. They're about to go away, but we can use them immediately. Next turn I can Rest, then Travel to the Bent Pyramid. Then Mark can Trade with me and take another Action. I'll give him one of my Clues, and maybe he could give me something. Then we can both have Encounters and try to advance the Mystery (and maybe get some Artifacts to boot).
I'm fine with retreating Doom. If anything, we may have lost more than 3, depending on when those extra Gates were added.

Re: Chat
I'll add back 3 Doom, now it is 7.
Well done with the story, it was worth the wait. I did smile to myself when I read "Lady Summerisle." The Wicker Man is a great film, I think, way ahead of its time, very dark and dangerous.
Good thinking about the Clues.
Turn 8 plan.
Mark to Focus and Rest; and have an encounter in Tel el-Amarna, gain Clue, and start solving the Mystery. Edit--I didn't realise that Finn can make it to the Bent Pyramid this turn. Mark to Focus and Trade with Finn at the Bent Pyramid, a Clue for the .38 and Know Thy Enemy?
Charlie to Travel to space 7; encounter Jacqueline.That's only 1 action, Rex or Finn may use a 3rd? . . . Use his ability to Acquire Assets and send the Colt Pocket to Mark?
Lead Investigator? Charlie?

Re: Chat
Rex is going to rest and then try and get rid of the Star Spawn using the Shining Trap.
Re: Chat
Thanks, Tabs! There's also a Pulp Fiction reference in there.
I'll Focus too instead of Resting. That will give us a much better chance of beating those Cutlists with our low Lore.
I should also give Mark the Whiskey, since he has less maximum Sanity and could use it more. I'll gladly take the .38 and Know Thy Enemy.

Re: Chat
@Mr. Handy, what is the Pulp Fiction reference--it's been years since I watched it? Whisky would be most welcome.
@Quatermass, good thinking re. Star Spawn, and I presume Rex is going for the Gate? There is a chance that the monster will be dragged to Arkham. How about allowing Nephren-Ka pull Rex towards the Bent Pyramid, and add back 1 Sanity, then use the Trapezohedron, and Travel to Arkham? AND use a 3rd action, courtesy of Charlie, and acquire Lavish Feast?

Re: Chat
Rex could get pulled to London so Finn can trade with him? Rex would have to go before Finn though and the Star Spawn could get pulled to London.
Otherwise losing the Sanity to stay in Arkham to try and close the gate is not a big deal. I am resting anyway.
I think Mandy could use the Feast.

Re: Chat
Mandy is long dead, feasting is no good to her! How about trading in London with Finn (Rex using Charlie's action), before Finn moves to the Bent Pyramid to meet-up with Mark as planned?

Re: Chat
Ok that sounds good. Rex will get pulled to London and then Rest and Trade with Finn. Charlie will give me a Action to use the ST.Tabs wrote:Mandy is long dead, feasting is no good to her!

What does Finn want in the trade?
Rex as lead?
Re: Chat
Best have Mark as Lead in case of a nasty Mythos card.
Re: Chat
The problem with Mark going first is that I need to go before him, unless Charlie gives me a third Action. I absolutely have to spend an Action to Focus so that I have more than a 50% chance to defeat the Cultist and advance the Mystery. I'd be willing to go first, and I'm in decent shape in case the Mythos card does something bad.

Re: Chat
Um, um, Rex to be moved to London and to forget about trading. Charlie to be Lead Investigator, order is: Charlie, Finn, Mark and then Rex. Charlie to Travel to space 7 and give 1 action to Rex; Finn to Focus and Travel to the Bent Pyramid; Mark to Focus and Trade; and Rex to use ability (acquire Lavish Feast), use ST on Star Spawn and then Travel to Arkham.
Re: Chat
@Quatermass, by staying in London with the Star Spawn it'll probably kill Rex, Doom will go down, and there's the Gate to close in Arkham.

Re: Chat
I have two items that reduce the attack of monsters. So at most Rex can take 1 health damage if I botch my combat roll.
Re: Chat
It's a shame you couldn't make that trade. We could sure use that Arcane Scholar to help us hunt Cultists in Egypt to solve the Mystery. Maybe you can come to Egypt yourself next turn.
I'd forgotten to mention what the Pulp Fiction reference was: the mysterious case of which the viewers never get to see the contents. Some of the dialogue about it was lifted directly from the movie.

Re: Chat
Never heard of Jon Stock before but I guessed he'd be something to do with MI6. You into spy novels, Mr. Handy?
@Me (Charlie)
(New scanner on its way.)
@Mr. Handy, The Bent Pyramid
Sneferu's funerary chamber appears empty, but you search the area (Observation -1). If you pass, you discover a hidden panel; gain 1 Artifact. If you fail, you are suddenly aware that this room no longer has an exit, and you must dig to freedom; gain a Back Injury Condition.
@Me, Mark at The Bent Pyramid
Small hieroglyphics are inscribed throughout the pyramid. You try to find them all (Observation). If you pass, they direct you to a lost treasure; gain 1 Relic Unique Asset. If you fail, you start to see the symbols everywhere you go; gain a Paranoia Condition.

Re: Chat
Well Damn!!! We should have had Rex go before Finn then. I wasn't sure about the turn order. I will redo my turn then.Mr. Handy wrote:It's a shame you couldn't make that trade.

Rex will spend a Sanity to stay in Arkham.
Turn redone.
Re: Chat
John Stock is just a modified version of James Bond's name. Bond is actually with the Secret Service rather than MI6, I believe. I have read some spy novels (including the odd James Bond novel as well as John Le Carre and Len Deighton), but it's been a while.
